Purell™ purposely adds an unpleasant bitter taste to its product to make it undesirable to drink and to discourage ingestion. In the 24 years Purell™ has been in business, the accidental or intentional ingestion of its products has been rare.[6] The Chicago Tribune reported that children have become inebriated by ingesting Purell™. One child's ingestion of the hand sanitizer caused her blood alcohol level to reach 0.218%; Purell™ contains 70% ethyl alcohol, while other hand sanitizers contain isopropanol which would likely have been fatal in the same dose.[7] The product packaging recommends that the product be "kept out of the reach of children".
Purell™ has been claimed to "[kill] more than 99.99% of most common germs that may cause illness in a healthcare setting, including MRSA & VRE." However, in January 2020, amid the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to Purell's™ maker, GOJO Industries, to stop its claims that the product is effective at eliminating diseases because there are no peer-reviewed, published clinical studies demonstrating the company's claims.[8]
The product is flammable, which is mentioned in the product label. Besides ethyl alcohol, it contains water, isopropyl alcohol, glycerin, carbomer, fragrance, aminomethyl propanol, propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, and tocopheryl acetate.
My art is not only painting, but diaries and portraits as well. Through the use
of color, composition and form, my paintings depict a subjective experience
of the interpersonal dynamics in human relationships. My work attempts to
call upon memory of feelings that are never fully complete but remain
vibrant in their psychological potency.
I use what is around me to create meaning; including the way technology
affects relationships of all sorts. This is manifested in my work with paintings
of figures who appear on the same picture plane but occupy separate
worlds.
